CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Cancer survivor Michelle Hummel has faced challenges in her life, but nothing quite like the journey she is currently embarking on.
Hummel, a retired Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department captain, is hiking the entire Appalachian Trail over the course of the next several months.
She said the trek is not only a purpose-fulfilling experience but also an opportunity to raise money for charitable organizations close to her heart.
